Den Tro, som Jesus favner

Author: Brorson Hymnal: Salmebog for Lutherske Kristne i Amerika #275 (1919) Topics: Second Sunday in Advent; Tredje Søndag I Advent Til Høimesse -Til Sekund Tekstrækkes Evangelium; Third Sunday in Advent; Anden Søndag I Advent Til Aftengudstjeneste - Til Anden Tekstrækkes Lektie Lyrics: 1 Den Tro, som Jesus favner, Og Hjertet rense kan, Den Tro, hvormed man havner I Himlens Frydeland, Den Tro er stærk, og maa Al Verden undertræde, I Sorger og i Glæde Sin Prøve kumme staa. 2 En Kristen bærer Sværdet, Og ud i Striden gaar, Mod Satan uforfærdet I Herrens Rustning staar. Det gjælder Liv og Død, Han stride maa og vinde, Saa sandt han og vil finde Sin Fred i Jesu Skjød. 3 Den Tro, som vil med Lempe Og uden Møie frem, Dem Tro, som ei vil kjæmpe Sig gjennem Verden hjem, Den Tro er død og kold, Ei værd en Tro at nævne, Har ingen Kraft og Evne Mod Satans Pil og Skjold. 4 Den Tro, som ham har funden, Der heder Sjælens Skat, Er den end skjult i Grunden Og synes ganske mat, Saa sandt den er kun der, Saa har den Kraft at kjæmpe, At drive og at dæmpe Den hele Satans Hær. 5 Den kan vel ogsaa slukkes I Hjertet ganske ud, Naar Viljen den forrykkes, Og viger fra sin Gud, Men vil den kun sin Stav, Sin Jesus, ikke slippe, Saa staar den som en Klippe I det oprørte Hav. 6 Vor Tro, er den end liden, Saa er den dog af Gud, Og derfor stærk i Striden Mod alle Satans Skud; Vor Tro er dog den Seir, Som Verden overvinder, Som alle Lyster binder, Og spotter Satans Leir. 7 Frisk op, I svage Hjerter, Og fatter freidigt Mod! Lad det kun koste Smerter, Ja Ære, Liv og Blod! O holder eder nær Til Jesu Blod og Vunder, Saa ligger Satan under Med al sin Helved-Hær. 8 Det er en Sag at merke Til Trøst i Kampens Tid, De Svage blive stærke I allerstørste Strid, Jo værre det gaar til, Des vissere du vinder, Des større Kraft du finder, Naar du kun stride vil. 9 O du min Lyst og Ære, Min Gud og Frelser sød, Din vil jeg evig være, Det gjælde Liv og Død! Lad komme, hvad der vil, Jeg vil det overstride Og intet andet vide, End høre Jesus til! Languages: Norwegian

Driftig nu, mit bange Hjerte

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #568 (1897) Topics: Anden Søndag i Advent Til Aftensang; Second Sunday in Advent For Evening; Fjerde Søndag i Advent Til Hoimesse; Fourth Sunday in Advent High Mass Lyrics: 1 Dristig nu, mit bange Hjerte, Fat dig et frimodigt Sind! Skynd dig kun med al din Smerte Lige til din Jesum ind! Ja, jeg løber lige til, Lad kun spotte, hvem der vil, Sligt jeg ei kan se og høre, Har det kun med Gud at gjøre. 2 Som i Storm og sterke Vinde Skibet drives under Land, At det Rolighed kan finde, Settes der igjen i Stand, Saadan har nu Vredens Vind, Jesu! drevet mig herind, Da jeg før ei tænke kunde Andet, end at gaa til Grunde. 3 Du vil mig vist ei bortstøde, Søde Jesus, Sjæleven! Thi jeg sørget mig til Døde, Kom jeg ikke til dig hen. Ingen Hjort saa tørstig kan Skrige efter Kildevand, At jeg ei med større Smerte Længes efter dig af Hjerte. 4 Jeg vil ikke tigge længe Der, hvor intet er at faa, Ære, Rigdom, Gods og Penge– Siig mig dog, hvor langt de naa? Da jeg var i Sjæle-Nød, Da var hele Verden død, Ingen kunde, ingen vilde Den fortviled' Sorg formilde. 5 Jesus, ja min Jesus ene, Han alene kan og vil, Derfor hvad end andre mene, Ham jeg trænger mig hen til; Det er ham, min Sjæl, du maa Ene, ene lide paa, Ham jeg ogsaa fast vil holde, Til min' Hænder ere kolde. 6 Jesu, tak, at du tilsteder Mig at komme dig saa nær! Du har søde Ord, som glæder, Sterke Ord, som frelser her Fra al Sorg og Synd og Nød; Se, jeg er i Jesu Skjød! Det er Ære her at ligge, Det er Rigdom her at tigge. Languages: Norwegian

Timothy Dwight

1752 - 1817 Topics: Year A Advent 3 Author of "We Love Your Realm, O God" in The New Century Hymnal Timothy Dwight (b. Northampton, MA, 1752; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1817) was a grandson of Jonathan Edwards who became a Congregationalist pastor, a Revolutionary War army chaplain, a tutor and professor at Yale College, and president of Yale from 1795 to 1817. As president he continued to teach and serve as chaplain and was instrumental in improving both the academic and the spiritual life of the college. Bert Polman =============== Dwight, Timothy, D.D. This is the most important name in early American hymnology, as it is also one of the most illustrious in American literature and education. He was born at Northampton, Massachusetts, May 14, 1752, and graduated at Yale College, 1769; was a tutor there from 1771 to 1777. He then became for a short time a chaplain in the United States Army, but passed on in 1783 to Fairfield, Connecticut, where he held a pastorate, and taught in an Academy, till his appointment, in 1795, as President of Yale College. His works are well known, and need no enumeration. He died at New Haven, Jan. 11, 1817. In 1797 the General Association of Connecticut, being dissatisfied with Joel Barlow's 1785 revision of Watts, requested Dwight to do the work de novo. This he did liberally, furnishing in some instances several paraphrases of the same psalm, and adding a selection of hymns, mainly from Watts. The book appeared as— "The Psalms of David, &c.... By I. Watts, D.D. A New Edition in which the Psalms omitted by Dr. Watts are versified, local passages are altered, and a number of Psalms are versified anew in proper metres. By Timothy Dwight, D.D., &c….To the Psalms is added a Selection of Hymns," 1800. Dwight's lyrics are all professedly psalms, but they are by no means literal versions. His original compositions number 33. Of these many are still in common use, the most important being:— 1. Blest be the Lord, Who heard my prayer. Psalm xxviii. This is the second part of Psalm xxviii., in 5 stanzas of 4 lines. It is in the English New Congregational Hymn Book, 1859. 2. I Love Thy kingdom, Lord. Psalm cxxxvii. This is version three of Ps. 137, in 8 stanzas of 4 lines, and is in extensive use at the present time throughout the States. It is also included in many English, Irish, and Scottish collections, sometimes in the original form, as in Alford's Year of Praise, 1867; again as, "I love Thy Church, 0 God," which opens with the second stanza, as in the Scottish Evangelical Union Hymnal, 1878, in 3 stanzas, and "We love Thy kingdom, Lord," in the Irish Church Hymnal, 1873. In Cleveland's Lyra Sacra Americana six stanzas only are given from the original. Next to this in popularity are his 2nd and 3rd renderings of Psalm lxxxviii.:— 3. Shall man, 0 God of life and light. (3rd stanza) 4. While life prolongs its precious light. (2nd stanza) Both of which are in extensive use. From his 4th version of the same Psalm (88), the following hymns have been compiled, each opening with the stanza indicated:— 5. Just o'er the grave I hung. Stanza ii. 6. I saw beyond the tomb. Stanza iv. 7. Ye sinners, fear the Lord. Stanza xii. This last is found in Spurgeon's 0ur Own Hymnbook. The original version consists of 13 stanzas. 8. 0 Thou Whose sceptre earth and seas obey. Psalm lxxii. This is his second version of this Psalm, and was given in the Comprehensive Rippon, 1844. The following, most of which are of a more jubilant character, are well known:— 9. How pleasing is Thy voice. Psalm lxv. 10. In Zion's sacred gates. Psalm cl. 11. Lord of all worlds, incline Thy gracious [bounteous] ear. Psalm llii. 12. Now to Thy sacred house. Psalm xliii., st. 3. 13. Sing to the Lord most high. Psalm c. 14. In barren wilds shall living waters spring. Psalm liii. 15. Lord, in these dark and dismal days. Psalm cxxxvii. No. 9 is found in Lyra Sacra Americana, pp. 101-2, the seven stanzas of the original being abbreviated to five. In addition to the Psalms, Dr. Dwight published three poems, "The Conquest of Canaan," 1785; "Greenfield Hill," 1794; "Triumph of Infidelity," 1788. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] - John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
